Free Cash

[Havoc]

I trust that my reputation here is good enough that people won't think that this is spam. Still, I'll post this offer only if people are actually interested.

For people in the UK only, and works out to GBP 7.5 per household. Not much, but at least it's free. :)

[Doolipalally]

Your reputation can definitely stand it!

OK, I'll bite - what is this?

[Havoc]

Ok, here's the deal:

Process
1. Visit FatCheese (http://www.fatcheese.co.uk/?referrer=6001), and sign up for a free account.
2. Once signed up, go to the left hand side, and click on 'No Spend Cashback'
3. The very first link will be for 4 free issues of Time magazine. Click on it.
4. On the time website, put in your name and address, and you will receive 4 free issues. You do not need to give any kind of credit card details.

Results
That's it. Your free issues will show up at your door starting in 2-3 weeks. Your account on FatCheese will show a credit of 12.5 pounds. Of this, 5 pounds will be witheld as an admin fee, and 7.5 is yours to keep. (This can take up to a day to show up. It will then take some more time to actually be awarded) Eventually you will be able to withdraw your money. You can redeem your cashback via BACS, PayPal or Moneybookers.

Disclaimer:
1. The offer seems legit to me, and I have signed up for it myself. Since they don't take your credit card details, I don't see any avenue for fraud. However, you are responsible for your own research.
2. I do benefit. I get 5 quid to my account for each referral using the link above. I get this only after you receive your 7.5. This comes out of the admin fee that you would lose anyways. Any further transactions you do on the site are entirely yours to keep.

And if you want to stay perfectly safe, take the cashback to a Paypal account, and use it to donate $10 to Sryth. 16AT free. :p

P.S. You may be able to do this even if you are outside the UK, by providing a fictitious UK address, but I am not responsible for any consequences. ;)

What happens if I just put my address from where I live in the U.S.?

[Havoc]

I actually don't know. No harm giving it a try. Time is an international magazine right?

And even if you have no use for pounds, you could just use receive money to paypal option, and trade it in for 16 AT.

Yes we have Time magazine for sale here in the States. I will give it a try and let you know what happens.

The only reason I'm hesitating about this one is that I've had a bad experience in the past with cancelling a subscription after the free issues. Agreed, your money's fairly safe if they don't have your credit card details, but if anything goes wrong (and it often does with subscriptions - take the word of a librarian!) then you can end up with a bad credit rating.

The other reason I don't usually do anything which involves telling someone where I live is that I already get a lot of junk mail and I'd rather not increase it. But then, I'm not going to be living at this address for much longer anyway...

[smv1973]

@ Havoc did you get this when you signed up?



Yes, please send my 4 Free Preview Issues of TIME. If I like TIME, I'll receive 52 additional issues for a total of 56 issues in all (1 year) for just $20.00 - a savings of 90% off the newsstand price! This low price includes the cost of my free trial issues. You'll also receive the ULTRONIC™ Touch-Screen Organizer FREE with your paid subscription. To receive the touch screen, please check the box below the premium image. If you don't want to continue with TIME after your trial period, simply return your bill marked "cancel" and owe nothing. The cancellation is effective immediately, and any trial issues I receive are mine to keep free.

@smv,
I get:
If you decide you like TIME, you’ll receive 50 more issues – 54 in all – for only £34.99. That's 74% off the cover price! You’ll also receive the Encyclopaedia Britannica DVD 2009 FREE with your paid subscription. If you don’t want to continue with TIME after your trial period, simply return your bill marked "cancel" and owe nothing.

@Dooli,
The only one that gets your address is Time. I'd expect them not to do something too shady. However, as always, caveat emptor.

Thanks. I signed up so I will see what happens.

@smv - I get the same text as Havoc

@Havoc - it's really only the credit rating which bothers me, and that's not an issue to do with shady behaviour, just the efficiency or lack of it of their accounts department.

[thingirl]

Regarding the text, I'm NOT going to sign up, but I expect the ad is edited for what country you live in.

[smv1973]

As of right now I don't have any credit listed in my account. I do see the admin fee is listed as pending.

[Havoc]

Looks like it might be only for UK addresses then. You should still get the 4 free issues.

[smv1973]

This is what it shows under my account.


Total cashback: £

Awarded: £0.00

Pending: £

Available to redeem: £0.00

Admin Fee (2009): £5.00
